Treat Yo’ Face | Plastic Surgery Center of the South

November 17, 2016

I was given these services in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

You may or may not know that I struggle with my skin… a lot. I don’t know what happened, but sometime in my 20s, my complexion revolted and turned on me. I have acne that is really hard to control and a nervous habit of picking at my face when I am broken out. These issues combined leave me with a lot of damage and discoloration. Sometimes, I feel like I have tried every skin regimen known to man. What I hadn’t really tried, was medical grade facial treatments at a Medical Spa, here in Atlanta. Luckily, I was introduced to Plastic Surgery Center of the South.

I visited their beautiful little office in Downtown Marietta, Georgia. I didn’t have any expectations, as I was hoping they would guide me through whatever they thought would work best for me and my skin. Immediately, I was greeted by warm staff members and felt totally welcome. In fact, I think someone at the front desk even said, “You’re part of the family now!”

I was introduced to the Esthetician, who escorted me to a relaxing, spa-like room and took a look at my face under the light. She asked me several questions about my history and habits. For that day, she recommended Microdermabrasion and some laser spot treatment for my acne. The Microdermabrasion is kind of like the ultimate exfoliation. You can read more about it on their website. She explained to me that the heat of the laser was helpful in killing bacteria deep under the surface and that several of her acne patients had seen tremendous results after several laser treatments.

With that, she completed the Microdermabrasion treatment and then used a laser to treat certain areas of my face. After we were finished, she met with me in an office to talk about what she recommends for the future and how she thinks my skin would best be served. It was very informative! The Microdermabrasion left my skin feeling brand new. Because of the gradual changes that continuous laser treatments would provide, I don’t have any dramatic before and after photos for you, but I am so encouraged about having an action plan for my skin troubles!
